This Lowrance HDS-9 Gen3 Fishfinder Chartplotter Combo includes the Lowrance Broadband 3G Radar, the perfect navigation accessory for any HDS unit. More than a boat weather radar, Lowrance Radars offer expanded capabilities to deliver clear and precise imaging on high-definition HDS displays of shorelines, navigation buoys, floating debris, current weather conditions, marinas, and other structures along with boats from large ocean going vessels to small low-to-the-water kayaks. Lowrance Broadband Marine Radars give you the clearest picture of the surroundings for safe navigation in conditions of limited visibility. This line of radars is easy-to-use and is ideal for any fishing boat.

The Lowrance HDS Gen3 Fishfinder Chartplotter is the most popular fishfinder chartplotter for professional anglers on the BASS and FLW tours, the HDS Gen3 displays everything from the smallest piece of cover to fish holding tight to the bottom. The HDS Gen3 offers an updated user interface that's easy to use and provides premium screen clarity with excellent target separation. HDS Gen3 units feature full operation via an intuitive multi-touch touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom and grab-and-drag functionality or a full keypad, giving anglers reliable control in all weather conditions.

Superior Target Separation On Extremely Bright DisplaysHDS Gen3 displays improve clarity and light transmission for the best viewing, even in direct sunlight. Small, fine details can be seen with more depth and contrast for the clearest presentation of charts, menu, and sonar. With up to four panels displayed side-by-side, anglers will have all the information they need to put more fish in the boat.

Powerful Performance And Total Boat ControlThe HDS Gen3 processor is fast enough to drive the latest sonar technology and the built-in Insight USA mapping, plus HDS Gen3 gives anglers a multitude of mapping upgrade options, including C-MAP, Navionics, and more. Integrated wireless connectivity allows anglers to focus more on fishing with SmartSteer control of the Lowrance outboard and MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor autopilots, plus control of Power-Pole shallow water anchors, allowing anglers to steer their boat and drop anchor from the touchscreen of their HDS Gen3 display.

Extensive Mapping Options - The HDS GEN3 comes with built-in Insight USA basemap charts for Coastal and Inland US waters, a world background reference map, and compatibility with the most expansive selection of cartography on the market, including Insight Genesis, Insight PRO by C-MAP, Lake Insight HD by C-MAP, C-MAP MAX-N+, Navionics, and more.

Simple To Use - Unique Lowrance interface features quick-response touchscreen or keypad control, intuitive software, and protective coatings to deliver performance in the most rugged on-the-water conditions. Lightning-fast, fingertip access to all HDS features.

Stay Connected - Integrated wireless connectivity with the Lowrance GoFree App and other onboard devices allows you to download software updates and map purchases for immediate use. You can also view and control the display wirelessly using supported tablets and smartphones.

Network All Components - Plug-and-play compatibility with Lowrance performance modules, including Broadband Radar, SonicHub2 Marine Audio, SiriusXM Marine Weather and audio, and Class B AIS and DSC VHF. Also compatible with industry-leading technologies, like Mercury VesselView Link, Bluetooth control of Power-Pole shallow water anchors equipped with the C-Monster Control System, and the SmartSteer interface, featuring control of MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor and the Lowrance Outboard Pilot.

Wireless Diagnostic Tools - The Network Analyzer detects devices with out-of-date software, while the Service Assistant allows users to send a detailed report of networked devices to Navico Service for quicker resolution of software/technical issues.

LOWRANCE 3G RADARThis Lowrance Radar offers 3G broadband capabilities, including short range performance and a max range of 24 nm in an easy-to-use design. The compact 18" dome emits extremely low emissions - less than a mobile phone. The radar has minimal power requirements and is easy to install with zero startup time. Lowrance's broadband radar can detect targets as close as 6' by eliminating the large main bang dead zone commonly found when using magnatron or HD radar technology.

Really nice unitI have only had this unit for a month and upgraded from an HDS9 Gen 2. This unit has a really bright crisp screen, fast boot time and is a breeze to set up. I bought two units so I have them linked via nmea and Ethernet cables for sharing. I like the ability to share the map especially. I have been using Lowrance since I purchased my first boat in 1989 and the constant innovation is impressive. I love Structure Scan for finding structure and fish off to the side of the boat. Never knew what I was missing. Most interesting find so far is what appears to be an old wooden shipwreck. It is 93 feet long and sitting in forty feet of water. You can distinctly see the ribs and planking on the ship on Structure Scan.

been to shop twiceI have both the gen 1 and gen 3 on my boat, Bought the gen 3 and kept the gen 1 to put on stern of boat for use when trolling. Now I can watch the fish finder and the rod tips without turning around. I like very much the touch screen on the gen 3. I honestly don't see much difference between what's on the screen between the gen 1 and gen 3.
I have had the gen 3 in the shop twice and there is a long turn around time, not good during short fishing season where I live. Thank goodness I have two units.
Tech support is pretty good and you can understand them. Based upon what I've seen I would get the gen 2 touch screen and save the money. The gen 3 does have a larger screen which I like as well. It does have a pretty steep learning curve to get it set up and use all the features, but you only have to do it once and tech support is helpful. If new to fish finders get the DVD by Bruce Samson, M.D. He has some great advice on how to set up all the options. Play with it a lot to get used to it. I would like to see something where you could take the unit home with you and play around with it, rather than have to do it on the boat. My boat is in storage 9 miles from my house.

What&rsquo;s in the box? What difference is there in the gen 3 and the carbon MFD?

Asked by: Gilznfinz

Thank you for your inquiry. The box includes the HDS-9 Gen3 unit, power cable, 3G broadband radar (with power cable and ethernet cable), bracket, knobs, installation guide, quick start guide, and operation manual. The difference between the Gen3 and Carbon is the Carbon has additional features. It has a faster processor, dual sonar channels, and (with current software) can work with the new Active Imagining 3-in-1 transducer. We hope this information is helpful.

Is there any other &quot;accessory&quot; needed for this radar work in my boat or is it basically plug it in and use.How much longer will this package be available? I am seriously considering it.

Asked by: Mike

This bundle will come with everything you need to connect the radar. You will not need to add any accessories. We are no longer bundling the HDS-9 Gen3 unit, so availability will depend on how long the dealer still has it in stock.
